You're still not being clear enough for me.
"Above"? Where? In the OE Preview pane header?
I can't copy from there. In the WLMail Reading pane?
I have that pane's header suppressed because of the
ridiculous amount of screen space it takes up.
But in any case, for the same reason I wouldn't expect
to be able to copy anything from it either.

If I did want to access some headers from either the OE
Preview pane or the WLMail Reading pane I would press
Alt-Enter,Ctrl-Tab and do that. All data would be copyable
using standard Windows editing commands but not by dragging
with the mouse.

After pressing Ctrl-g to start composing this reply,
in either newsreader, the Newsgroups: field is an input field
and I can copy from it. The only problem I had with it was
trying to cancel a move by dragging, forgetting that I should
be pressing a Ctrl- key when doing that to make it a Copy operation.

Copying text selections by dragging with a mouse is something
I hardly ever do. In fact, I just tried to reproduce my problem
with it and couldn't; Ctrl-z undid the move operation and
converted it to a copy. Slick. Who knew? <w>

Seems to copy just fine from a Ctrl-g reply composition window
into a Ctrl-N New message window. The only problem I had was
that during the Copy there was no input cursor (e.g. I-bar),
so the copy operation always resulted in an append rather than
an insertion. Otherwise a Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v did use an input cursor
and could produce an insertion.
